My name is Ingrid and I was born in Auvergne, France. I have lived in Munich since 2010…A place where I feel happiest with my husband and two girls.
I received my first camera as I was 12 years old …But the real spark was in 2006… when I become a mother. My children gave me a new way to see my life, people and things around me. My gaze was becoming at the same time delicate and strong.
The light and the composition is very more important in my photographs. I try to show some melancholy, like an “happy sadness” in shapes and shadows. In my opinion black and white images are the best way to express those feelings ! A lot of photographers are inspirational to me but Vivian Maier is my reference.
I hope I could share with you some emotions…
I call this pictures “Un matin”

Wonderful work!

Let me add my welcome too, Ingrid! Beautiful image with such skilled use of light and shadows and negative space. Motherhood truly does open our eyes to new things, doesn’t it?

Bienvenue Ingrid !
Je peux enfin parler français sur Monochromia, bonne nouvelle !
Ta photo est épatante, j’aime beaucoup comment tu as centré la lumière sur le visage de l’enfant, et utilisé l’ombre des stores.
C’est magnifique et en même temps très expressif !
